Every viral AI trend, explained.

A Madrid street freestyle by Dominican dembow singer Bulin 47 and Colombian creator Kevin Wai became one of TikTok's favorite put-yourself-in-it formats: upload one photo and AI puts you in Bulin 47's place, keeping Kevin Wai, the speaker, the red-lit entrance and the original audio.

“Dame Hombro” is the studio single Bulin 47 and Kevin Wai made from their own Madrid street freestyle: first the freestyle, then the same-named song. With AI, people put their own face into the freestyle; separately, people dance the shoulder move to the official single. TokClip's 1-photo template is the freestyle face-swap, not a remake of the official music video.

Anime characters in streetwear sway left and right on a plain white background to a Jersey club remix of Drake's “From Time”. The name comes from a misheard lyric: “wassup, been a minute” became “wassup in a minute”.

A 15-second film made from two photos: someone has turned into a zombie, the other person lowers a pistol and opens their arms, and the film cuts to a memory of the pair in a golden wheat field. Pet versions swap the zombie for a dog or cat.

A2O LITE’s “NEON” video features a short two-performer opening dance. A TikTok hashtag snapshot for #a2olite lists 4,656 videos and 136.9 million views as of Oct. 17, 2026. TokClip turns two adult photos into a 15-second duo-dance video guided by the reference choreography.

Creators take Quavo and Takeoff's 2022 COLORS performance of “Hotel Lobby” and swap in new people, cats, celebrities or fictional characters while keeping the movements, lip-sync and original audio. The scene is an orange studio set, not a hotel.

Creators AI-swap new faces into NPR's 2023 Tiny Desk performance of “Outstanding” by Charlie Wilson: a band crammed behind a cluttered office desk. The joke is casting a specific, recognisable group — a losing sports team, coworkers, friends — as this one scrappy band. The breakout swapped losing college football coaches into the final about 19 seconds.

Thriller Dance AI is a fan-made, seasonal AI video template inspired by the zombie dance in Michael Jackson's “Thriller” music video (directed by John Landis, choreographed by Michael Peters, premiered on MTV on Dec 2, 1983). The dance returns every Halloween; in 2026, AI versions spread on TikTok from the summer onward, including AI pets in Halloween costumes in August and human-led versions around Halloween in October. In TokClip's version, one photo of an adult puts the user in the lead spot, dancing in front of a crowd of zombie dancers on a street at night.

A cafe POV joke: one visitor mistakes a small cafe table for a seat; a second visitor arrives and uses the seating normally, revealing the mix-up.
